In my job as editor of an antique truck magazine I've driven lots of them. Model T Fords, with their planetary transmission and throttle on the steering wheel are interesting - and weird. It drives more like a piece of farm machinery than a car.
I've driven Model A and Model AA Fords, and a '39 Ford COE dump truck that I embarrassed myself in by starting out in 1st gear. My '47 Dodge pickup was designed in the late 1930s so was basically a pre-war truck. I drove an old American LaFrance fire truck that may or may not have been pre-war. It's hard to tell since they updated them so infrequently.
